Don't [i]really[/i] need this, but rather tempted due to the asking price of £800 for the complete build as follows:

- Medium '08 frame (bought Christmas 2007)
- Marzocchi Bomber 55 ATA Forks (are these the dodgy year model?)
- Marzocchi Roco TSTR Shock
- Deity Vendetta 2 Cranks Seat and Bars
- Avid Juicy Ultimate Brakes 180.x180
- Transition Wheelset with Maxxis High Roller and Larsen TT Rear
- SRAM XO Derailleur X9 Red Cassette
- Raceface Evolve Seatpost E13 Bash
- Hope Stem Hope Seatclamp
- NYC Race handmade custom Pedals

Would make a great 'play' bike wouldn't it? Looks the business to me... owner reckons it's sat in a shed after just 2 months use (had an injury and then just got old 😉 )... tempting, tempting...

Can't say for sure, but the graphics on the forks look like 08 or 09 models - these were the dodgy ones. Worth checking which ones were faulty - I think it was the ones with the TST cartridge or something. Even if they are, £800 for the rest of the build is still a good deal...

edit: apart from the seat - I had one of those and thought it was poo.

If it works in fine order then it's a belter of a bargain, I'm gonna ask some questions about it though...
